Lord Chronicle

Chapter 145 The Battle Between Two Places
In addition, relying on the strong protective power of the purely mechanical body, the two dolls can also act as shields at critical moments.Whenever there is a dense rain of arrows or poisonous mist, as long as they are near them, the two dolls will bend down, use their thick backs to block the people below, or use their thick metal arms to kill zombies that cannot be cleared in time Sweep down the wall and become another powerful backing besides the city wall.

However, this good situation soon disappeared with the arrival of the ghouls. The huge ghouls were almost as high as the city wall. They could directly attack people on the wall as long as they raised their arms.

Many soldiers immediately turned their attack focus to them, but bows and arrows had no effect on these spliced ​​big guys, and swords were difficult to hurt. Soon a dozen or so ghouls approached the city wall, immediately causing huge pressure on everyone.

Facing the huge, rotten and ugly head protruding from the wall, many people retreated involuntarily in fear.Seeing that the defense line was shaken, several commanders including Kress and Lista immediately reprimanded them loudly, telling them to stick to their posts.

Their activity immediately attracted the attention of the ghouls. After hearing a furious roar, a ghoul swept away a few skeleton soldiers who were in the way, and then raised its hand to grab Kress.

The huge arm with the smell of carrion slashed down, and the huge wind pressure made a loud "woo" in the air. Kress was startled and quickly rolled to the side.

Just hearing a bang, the bricks and stones of that section of the city wall immediately flew together, and several rows of arrow stacks were smashed under the arm of the ghoul, and a deep dent was smashed into the top of the wall, and several huge cracks spread along the wall. Looking down, it shows how terrifying the power of this blow is.

Even Kress, who boasted of being infinitely powerful, was dumbfounded. The ghouls who attacked last time were not so fierce in his impression. It seems that the necromancers who controlled them were really extraordinary.

However, the situation did not allow him to continue to sigh, and the blow failed, and the ghoul raised his arm again.If he hits her like this a few more times, this section of the city wall will definitely collapse.

Before thinking too much, Kress grabbed the sword and jumped up, jumped in the air and stabbed the ghoul's wrist with his sword, and was immediately carried into the air by the opponent's raised arm.

The ghoul noticed the abnormality in the wrist, but the dull nerves made it difficult to respond effectively.Taking advantage of this opportunity, Kress held the sword with both hands, kicked on its arm, and drew the sword out instantly.

With a leap in mid-air, Kress jumped off the ghoul's shoulder, and then turned his wrist, and the iron lump penetrated straight through its neck.

The ghoul finally came to its senses, it howled angrily, and waved its arms trying to grab the human off its body.Kress held the hilt tightly, his body swaying in mid-air as it rotated.

"Drink!" In the roar, Kress seized the opportunity to push forward with his sword, and at the same time, he jumped from the ghoul's left shoulder to his right shoulder.

As he shifted, the iron lump slashed half of the ghoul's thick neck, and when the iron lump's sword edge was pulled out of its carrion, the ghoul's frantic actions stopped abruptly.

The remaining connected neck muscles could no longer support the ghoul's head, and with a crackling sound, the rotten big head rolled down, collapsing along with the huge body of the ghoul.

The moment it fell, Kress jumped back to the top of the wall, easily killing an enhanced version of the ghoul in a one-on-one fight, and his strength was obviously growing at a terrifying speed.

However, the others were not as brave as him. In other parts of the city wall, ghouls were ruthlessly destroying the defense line of the Lowell defenders.In the face of these powerful monsters, even the powerful defenders and dwarf fighters can hardly beat them straight.

On the left side of Kress, a ghoul swept his arm and knocked several defenders to the ground.A dwarf warrior rushed forward bravely, but the battle ax was unable to inflict effective damage on it. Instead, he was grabbed by the ghoul and crushed into pieces between his five fingers.

On his right side, several adventurers kept shooting arrows at the ghoul. However, even though its head was full of arrows, the ghoul was still able to move freely. Slashing and piercing can hardly hurt these monsters.

This kind of situation keeps happening on the entire city wall, the human defense line is collapsing at lightning speed, and the situation is getting worse and worse.

Fortunately, the brains of these ghouls were not bright, and the necromancers who manipulated them were also not very smart. Until then, their attacks were mainly targeting people, and they did not think of using their own body advantages to directly destroy the city wall.Therefore, although the situation is critical, it can still be sustained.

At this moment, a ghoul knocked several adventurers to the ground, and spread its five fingers to take pictures.Suddenly a magic puppet rushed up, grabbed its arm, and then punched it.

The power of the puppet was astonishing, half of the ghoul's head was blown off in an instant, and its body immediately fell backwards.However, before dying, the ghoul suddenly grasped the doll's hand tightly, and under the pulling force of his back, the doll lost its footing and fell forward.

With a loud noise, the whole doll was completely pressed against the city wall. Under the weight of his all-steel body, half of the precarious city wall collapsed in an instant, and a large amount of mud embryos, earth and rocks poured all over the ground. The nearly 6-meter-high city wall was only The 2-meter-high pedestal is still standing.

For Lovell's defense network, this was definitely a fatal blow. For a while, everyone stared blankly at the collapsed city wall, and Sol, who was watching the battle from behind, was even more frightened.

"Quickly, block the gap, and never let them rush in!" He yelled anxiously.

"Impossible, this is a structural collapse. Not to mention the fact that we are still fighting, even in normal times, if I have enough manpower, it will take two days to repair it." The dwarf named Evans who stayed here to replace Manson shook his head. shook his head.

At this time, the nearby undead have begun to gather towards the gap, but there are constant rolling stones at the collapsed place, and they can't rush in for a while, but if they don't think about it, it will only be a matter of time before they enter the town.

"Is there no way to block it for a while?" Chip was the only one who could still remain calm at this time, because he and his subordinates did not join the offensive and defensive battle due to the relationship between the arms.

After thinking for a while, Evans sighed: "If you give me some time and plug the gap with logs and sandbags, I can probably last for a while. But in this case..."

Several people understood what he meant. There are already a large number of zombies gathered in the city, and the defenseless engineering team chose to step forward at this time, which is undoubtedly to die.

"Damn it..." Saul rubbed his hands helplessly, looking at the vultures who couldn't hold back their heads.

At this time, it is the best way to contain Hitches and do the same thing as last night.However, the necromancer has obviously learned his lesson, using the vultures to firmly grasp the air supremacy, and never giving Thor any more chances.

In addition, the inexplicable aging problem of the pure agent has not been resolved, and Sol can hardly ride Simba with peace of mind, so he can only stare blankly at this moment.

When they were in a dilemma, Tavia suddenly came over: "My lord, please order the cavalry to attack."

Apparently, the experienced man also saw the current crisis, so he took the initiative to ask for a fight. In fact, only heavy cavalry with strong impact and full body armor could take on this important task.

Glancing at Jessica, Sol nodded: "Then please, before the city wall is repaired, please be sure to block the enemy."

Tavia slapped the breastplate and said solemnly: "I swear on the honor of the knight, I will live up to your trust."

Soon, the assembled cavalry formed a charging formation, and Tavia drew his sword in his hand, and said loudly: "The survival of the territory is at stake, everyone will charge with me!"

In the unanimous response of everyone, more than 200 royal heavy armored knights rushed towards the enemy with the momentum of no return.

At this time, the puppet at the collapsed part of the city wall was trying to get up, and when Sol saw this, his heart moved, and he hurriedly shouted: "Lie down and don't move!"

The puppet faithfully carried out this order, and at the same time Tavia also understood Sol's intention.He turned his horse's head, and the cavalry who were heading towards the city gate immediately turned an arc flexibly, pointing directly at the breach in the city wall.

The remnant wall at the collapsed site was only 2 meters high, and with the puppet lying on it as a pedal, it formed a perfect impact opening.Tavia took the lead, and the war horse jumped onto the back of the puppet, followed by using this as a base point to accelerate, and jumped out of the gap at the moment when it reached the highest point.

Like a flying horse, Tavia's tall horse, carrying a heavy armor all over his body, crashed into the enemy's line with the momentum of thunder in the mid-air of 2 meters, and after that, more and more cavalry were also jumping out.

Just then a hapless ghoul appeared ahead, trying to enter through the gap.However, it only had time to see a large group of gray shadows jumping out of the gap, so it instinctively raised its arms, but the moment it crossed with the gray shadows at the next moment, the giant claws that the ghouls are proud of separated from the body.

With the help of the horse's impact, Tavia completely removed the ghoul's arm with just one blow.

However, the matter is not over yet, the dizzy ghoul has not yet recovered from the blow of the severed arm, another group of gray shadows jumped out, followed by a thick and long lance at its throat .

Then, as groups of gray shadows continued to rush out, the body of the ghoul suffered continuous injuries, severed arms, huge cuts, punctures, rough impacts...

In just a few seconds, this unlucky guy was completely turned into a mess of carrion.

Then, the zombies and skeleton soldiers gathered around also suffered the same fate. There was a dull impact, the sound of bones cracking, and the sound of sharp knives breaking muscles.

One minute later, when the last heavy cavalryman jumped out of the breach, there was only a pile of unrecognizable meat sauce and countless broken bones left near the collapsed city wall.

This was a successful charge, and a face-to-face meeting completely shattered the dreams of the fragile undead trying to enter the gap, perfectly embodying the absolute lethality of heavy cavalry against zombies.

However, this is the end. After rushing into the crowd of zombies, the cavalry who lost the acceleration space will fall into a hard fight. They can only use the lance and sword in their hands to fight a bloody path in the endless rotting corpses .

It is precisely because of this that the engineering team has won time.When the cavalry rushed out, the puppet got up under Sol's command and stepped over the gap. The craftsmen rushed up immediately.

Watching the engineering team brace against the bone arrows and poisonous fog flying above their heads, they nervously supported the logs at the collapsed place and repaired the gap.Sol couldn't help beating the drum in his heart, he must hold on.

At this moment, a voice suddenly sounded from behind: "My God, what has become of this place..."

Sol turned his head and saw that Mary and Manson were coming.At this moment, the alchemist was staring dumbfounded at the ruined city wall. Behind her, Manson was dragging a flatbed cart.

"Hey, are you going to fall?" She asked excitedly.

Sol was speechless for a while, big sister, Lao Tzu's territory was breached by the undead, it doesn't seem to be of any benefit to you, right?Why are you so excited...

Ignoring her, Jessica said, "How is your Molotov cocktail?"

Mary turned around and took out a clay pot the size of a coconut from the flatbed cart, and proudly weighed it in her hand: "How about it, do you want to see the power of this thing?"

************************************************** *
When the territory was in a fierce battle, Marlene and Mira, who were far away in the relic forest, were crawling cautiously in the bushes.

When Marlene saw the adventurer walking out of the woods, and the panic when the other party found out that she was not behind the wooden house, no matter how innocent she was, she understood that she was here because of their relationship.

Two little girls sneaked into the woods, trying to escape before the other found out.It's just that Marlene, who was puzzled, could never imagine that the real goal of these adventurers was actually Mira beside her.

At this time, there were bursts of chaotic shouts from the wooden house, apparently the adventurers were searching around.The two couldn't help speeding up their pace when they heard the words, and soon came to the edge of the woods.

Cautiously poking her head out from behind the bushes, Marlene saw a vast open space ahead.The surrounding forest seemed to be blocked by some mysterious force, and the trees stopped growing at the edge of the open space. Among the surrounding dense forests, this barren area was very eye-catching.

In the middle of the open space, a huge ruin that Marlene had never seen stood tall, and there were many ruins of houses around the ruins.This was evidently the place she had seen from the window of the cabin.

At this moment, near the ruins, some people in scholar's robes turned their backs to the two of them, and they were recording something around a broken wall. Besides, there was no one figure in sight, and they seemed very quiet.

"Where am I?" Dumbfounded, Marlene couldn't help murmuring.

However, the situation obviously did not allow her to pursue it any further, and soon there was a rustling sound of branches and leaves behind the two of them, and it was obvious that a large group of people were running towards this side.

Unable to stay where she was, Mira pulled Marlene out of the hiding place in a hurry, quickly crossed the middle area between the woods and the ruins, and hid behind the broken wall of the nearest ruin.

Crouching down under the wall, Marlene couldn't help panting from the violent running, and her heart was beating non-stop because of nervousness.Until now, she still doesn't understand what happened, why did those people take her captive here?What on earth are they trying to do?
However, before she recovered her breath, Mira, who had poked her head out, retracted her head, and the next moment, she was pulling Marlene, who was still panting, to the right.

Just as the figures of the two disappeared behind the broken wall on the other side, with the sound of footsteps, several adventurers ran over.

They looked around anxiously for a moment, then ran away: "Look for her, we must not let her escape!"

Hiding in the hiding place, Marlene felt the shouts of those people coming from all directions. From time to time, a few adventurers ran past nearby, and the hurried footsteps added to the tense atmosphere in the air.It was only then that she was surprised to find that her escape could provoke such a big reaction.

After a short pause, Mira, who had been paying attention to the movement around her, pricked up her ears, and immediately pulled Marlene up and ran.Almost as soon as the two left, a few adventurers found their hiding place on the back, with only a few seconds between them.

After that, Mira took Marlene to play hide-and-seek with the Adventurer's Guild in the entire ruins. At this time, Mira showed extraordinary insight and perception. She could almost always find the next one before the other party noticed it. Such a safe hiding place that dozens of senior adventurers ran back and forth in the ruins in vain, and they couldn't even touch the two girls.

Don't look at Mira who is usually ignorant, as if she doesn't understand anything, but at this time she takes on the heavy responsibility of taking care of Marlene.Thanks to her, Marlene, who only knew how to run around in a daze, didn't fall into the opponent's hands
And if you carefully observe the escape route of the two, you will be surprised to find that Mira is not just running around. While avoiding pursuit, she even consciously set the direction of movement.Although the route of dodging left and right was twists and turns, she was indeed moving towards the edge of the ruins.

You must know that this is quite an astonishing behavior. In the area where the terrain is complicated for the first time, you have to avoid a large number of enemies while taking care of the weak Marlene, and you have to buy her a chance to rest during the escape. At the same time, the orientation of the movement has to be constantly revised.

This requires extremely careful thinking and a precise grasp of the overall situation. It is hard to believe that this is something that Mira, who only knows how to eat and sleep, can do.

However, this really happened. I'm afraid those exhausted adventurers would never have imagined that so many people on their side would fall into the hands of such a silly little girl.

However, Mira is not omnipotent after all, and she cannot predict all situations.When she was about to reach the edge of the ruins, she dragged Marlene from one ruin to another, but she just turned around a broken wall and immediately met a person who was coming.

Both sides were taken aback, Mira dragged Marlene behind her, and at the same time, the person on the opposite side also let out an exclamation.

Upon closer inspection, the other party turned out to be Mene, the Summoner in Rulert's adventure group.After seeing Mira and Marlene in front of her, she opened her mouth in surprise: "Is it you?"

"Mene, are you here to catch me too?" Marlene asked behind Mira.

When the Roulet team was a guest at Sol's house, Marlene and Meniepo got along well, and the two even made friends.Seeing that even she was the one who came to arrest him at this moment, Marlene was quite sad for a while.

Menie showed a puzzled look: "Catch what?"

Immediately she became excited again: "Marlene, are you here to see me?"

Seeing that she didn't look like a fake, Marlene was also taken aback: "You really didn't come to arrest me?"

Meine shook her head stupidly: "I don't know what you're talking about..." Following her hurriedly waved her hands: "But outsiders are not allowed to come here, please leave quickly, if you are discovered..."

"Found it, they are here!" Before Meine could finish speaking, two adventurers chased after her.

"Hu... Hu..." Seeing them, Mira immediately crouched down, making a threatening sound from her mouth.

An adventurer showed a strange look: "Where did this girl come from?"

"It doesn't matter, let's grab it back together." The other person said, and walked up with open arms.

"Huh? Huh?" Meine, who was sandwiched between the two sides, looked at both sides blankly.

Suddenly, Mira squatted down and jumped, and rushed over like lightning. The adventurer who was caught off guard was startled and knocked to the ground by her.Clutching the man's shoulders with both hands, Mira bit his ear.

Hearing an earth-shattering scream, the unlucky adventurer rolled aside while clutching his bloody left ear. At the same time, Mira jumped up again and rushed towards another person.

The adventurer instinctively pressed the hilt of his sword, and then he remembered that the other party was just a little girl, and let go of his five fingers.In this moment of hesitation, Mira has already rushed forward and pushed his head from bottom to top.

There was a muffled bang, and the foreheads of the two collided without any fancy.In the end, there was no suspense. Mira's head was as strong as her teeth. The adventurer screamed, the blood column on his head was more than one meter high, and he fell down straight.

Instantly knocking the two down, Mira turned her head and couldn't help waving to Marlene, signaling her to run away.Unexpectedly, just as Marlene took a step, the adventurer whose ear was bitten stood up.

Covering the bleeding wound, he drew out his long sword with a ferocious expression: "Little girl, I want you..."

Before he finished speaking, his expression changed, and he fell to the ground, but it was Meine who took advantage of his unpreparedness, picked up his big satchel and gave him a hard hit on the back of the head.

"Although I don't know what happened, you run away quickly." She said to Marlene anxiously.

"Thank you." Nodding to her, Marlene followed Mira, and the two fled to the right.

Not long after, another group of people rushed over upon hearing the sound, among them were Kado and Laris.Seeing the tragic situation of the two adventurers at the scene, the group looked at each other in blank dismay.

"Mene, where did the people escape?" asked an adventurer.

"Uh..." Meine rolled her eyeballs behind her big glasses and pointed to the left: "Over there."

"Hurry up, don't let her run away." A group of people ran to the left immediately.

Kado, who was at the back, took two steps and stopped suddenly: "If it's Meine, I think it's better to go to the right."

Laris said coldly: "Agreed."

The two of them turned around without hesitation and chased to the right.

Seeing that her trick was seen through, Meine waved her fist angrily: "I hate it, how can you distrust others!"

Seeing that they ignored her at all, she tightly held the big satchel around her waist, and chased after the two of them: "Kado, Laris, tell them quickly, what happened?"
